Canvas doesn't look too bad, the bellows? are all the, you mean the bits that concertina withthe roof? all the mech is there.

£100 for the pop and all the components, or £150 for it chopped off. Pls note the roof is rotten where the hinges attach.

is the co code gearbox 1500 or 1600...?

hi mate any idea on the gearbox.....?

 

[woody68]

gear box is CO which is 1600 early bay 69 onwards. C is the same but out of a 68. The C code one is out of my bay, tight as, shifts beautifully, only done 90,000 genuine miles.

Look on

canvas has not been taken off very carefully, so i'm afraid it's ripped along the join. i'll put pic up tomorrow, was rainy bad today.

Would you like to buy the shell before i chop it?

I could restore this vehical back to its former glory, however as stated in my reply, it's not viable. No one would restore a car to loose money... would they?? I'm not a business. Trust me this have every panel patched, covered and rotten through.

Plenty of people restore buses just because they love them/want one...and not for finantial gain.
Do you have a set of photos showing the complete bus shell condition?

 

[woody68]

I understand the passion and love for buses, I'm not doing this for financial gain, far from it. i paid well over the odds for this bus, which i admit i should've investigated it more. I'd take on most projects and do it for the love of restoring a bus. However to get this bus to the standard i'd be happy with it's possible. I've have a rust free 68 UK RHD that i know is mostly OG metal, it was completely OG metal until fitted a tin top and someone smashed into it. To which i painfully source the best possible panel to repair my bus. Using early 70's front to replace my bent 68. Using only NOS parts to replace the indicator lense and straighten the OG screws so they are still correct. Replaced the light bowl due to 68 van having less flats than a 69 onwards. My alloy wheels are 67/68, my dash clock that wasn't factory fitted is stamped 68. I'm very passionate about vans, especially EB's. However this van would need nearly every panel replacing. I don't do patches and i'm not a sheet metal fabricator. The time it would take me to do this van and the cost of getting og metal to replace the rot isn't worth it.

If you'd like to restore this bus then i'll give you whats left for free and i'll not chop any body parts off. Fair?
